Top 10 Infinity models - 5th to 1st

Well here they are, the second part of my personal 10 10 favourite Infinity models, 5th to 1st and I personally think this list contains some stunning miniature...


1st  Anathematic

Just look at it!!! Have you ever seen anything so cool in your life. Its awesome in the flesh as well and the surface detail is outstanding. The pose is just so threatening and its just full of kick ass alien bad assery!!! The two whip like strands of hair, I wanted to say plaits but I was scared the Anathematic would take offense and come get me, slash round the sculpt adding a bit of drama and animation. The claws look ready to rip stuff to shreds on the end of those powerful arms... put it this way would you argue with it?

2nd  Lasiq Sniper

The pose's on pretty much all of Infinity's snipers could be fairly described as 'cool', but none are as purposeful and dynamic as this little lady. The pose stepping forward onto a stone to steady herself as she aims carefully down the sights, coat fluttering gently in the breeze screams HEAD SHOT!!! The length of the sniper rifle jutting out over the base leading the pose off into the distance makes her feel like she's on a battlefield.

3rd  Saito Togan

We've all of us watched the odd classic Samurai film I'm sure (Seven Samurai, Seppuku, Yojimbo, Kagemusha and although not considered a 'classic' Zatoichi). The exaggerated stances, the balletic poise and strong swift movements... they are undeniably stylish and totally cool. This miniature captures all of that in one fell swoop, what a pose, what a sculpt... awesome, he looks every inch of him a noble capable warrior.

4th  Cassandra Kusanagi

The one and only dirty space pikey Nomad on my list. But she fully deserves this place and was very nearly in 3rd place. The pictures on Angels Blog might not do the pose and detail justice, but then no photo can. The movement and animation in this miniature is genuinely breath taking, its a space nun diving backwards and sideways, double pistol shooting John Woo style. In the flesh its utterly convincing and stunning. Words fail me. At no point is the illusion of movement ever broken by a piece of the sculpt not being 'right' the motion is all spot on.

5th  Oniwaban

I was torn over whether or not I preferred the standard Oniwaban or Shinobu Kitsune but in the end the bog stand Oniwaban won out with his great stance and faceless menace. Again much like Saito Togan he is full of poise and is clearly offering some poor schmuck 'out'... whoever it is you know in a blink of an eye a neon green flash with a monofilament blade will end said poor schmuck's pitiful existence in an explosion of blood. Simple and effective composition.

So there it is my top ten favourite Infinity models. I'm pretty sure not every Infinity fan will agree with my choices. Others could easily come up with an equally cool and valid top ten I'm sure. I've also compiled a top ten honorable mentions because some truly stunning mini's hit the cutting floor when doing this list and I felt really guilty. Peace out!
